West Fraser Manager Speaks to Kiwanis

Wayne Duperron, West Fraser Manager, spoke to the Kiwanis Club Tuesday, August 15th. He has been at the Winnfield plant for 4 years. He was the number 2 man for 3 years and became the manager on July 1, 2023. He was born and raised in Michigan about 10 miles south of Detroit. Because of that he began his career in the automotive industry. After changes with the automotive industry and his job he began working in the lumber industry. He has been in the south for over 20 years. He and his wife live in Sikes. She is from Plain Dealing and wanted to be closer to her mother.


West Fraser wants to be involved in the community and he was told to be involved in the community hence his speaking to the Kiwanis club. 


 West Fraser is a Canadian company. They employ 185 good hardworking people and always looking for more. Starting salary is $18.50 per hour with benefits beginning on day 1. Benefits include medical, dental, vacation, etc. Background checks and drug testing is required. There are random drug tests for all employees including the manager. He would like to have people coming right out of high school or the technical college and put them to work. Their longest working employee worked 50 years before his retirement a few months ago.


They sell 53% premium wood which is high grade. The Winnfield plant is one of the most efficient plants in the company. They buy 85% of their timber from Weyerhauser. They buy some from private landowners.


Duperron was answering questions being asked by the group. The kilns and boiler never stop. The sawmill is open from 6 AM – 3:30 PM. They cut 4 million board feet per week. They cut based on what they sell. The lumber is shipped by rail as well as by truck(30 trucks per day). They sell chips to Graphic Packaging and the waste is use to run the kilns. The largest log they can handle is 24 inch and the smallest about 9 inches. They are very serious about safety. There have only been 2 injuries since the first of the year. During the summer a snowcone truck comes once a week to help beat the heat. There are also air conditioners close to where people work.


There is talk about improvements to the sawmill but he was not at liberty to reveal those yet.
This was a very interesting look at a vital employer in our community. 




Remember This? First Impressions

Jenny was a book worm who craved an education.  Jenny’s father sent her and her sister, Cassandra, to school in Oxford, England, but both girls returned home after being diagnosed with typhus.  Several times throughout her sickness, Jenny was on the cusp of death.  Following their slow recovery, Jenny and Cassandra attended a boarding school for only a few months, after which the fees became too expensive for Jenny’s father to continue to afford.  Thus ended Jenny’s formal education, but not her self-education.

Jenny had access to a large variety of books in her father’s personal library.  Jenny also began reading books from the extensive personal library of a family friend.  Jenny and her other siblings staged plays for family and friends based on the books Jenny had read.  Her ever-supportive father provided Jenny and her sister with expensive paper and other materials for writing and drawing.  By the time she was 12, Jenny was writing poems, short stories, and plays to amuse her family and friends.  In seven years, Jenny had produced twenty-nine works made up of over 90,000 words she kept in three bound notebooks called “Volume the First,” “Volume the Second,” and “Volume the Third.”  Contained in those pages was a satirical novel Jenny titled “Love and Freindship.”  Whether 12-year-old Jenny intentionally misspelled friendship remains a mystery. 

Around the time she wrote “Love and Freindship,” Jenny decided that she wanted to become a published author and earn money from her writing.  She continued to write voraciously and, when she was 20 years old, Jenny began to write a novel she called “First Impressions.”  She wrote a few pages, then read them aloud to her family.  She had done this with other works, but they were more receptive to “First Impressions” than with any of her other work.  Everyone in the room was silent when she read.  They wanted to hear every syllable.  At the end of every reading, they pressed Jenny to find out what was going to happen next.  “First Impressions” became a family favorite.  Jenny’s father wrote to Thomas Cadell, a publisher in London, to see if he would publish the book, but Cadell declined.

Jenny continued to write, and a publisher finally agreed to publish one of her books “on commission.”  In this case, the publisher paid for the cost of printing the books along with advertisements.  The author earned money only after the publisher was repaid for the cost of printing the books, then the publisher withheld a 10% commission on every book sold.  If the books failed to sell enough copies to cover the cost of printing, the author was responsible for the remainder.  Luckily for Jenny, the book quickly sold out.  The publisher printed more, and they sold out as well. 

Jenny tried again to publish “First Impressions.”  Publishers were still cautious about publishing Jenny’s work, and Jenny was hesitant to publish another book on commission.  Everyone wondered if the success of her first book was just a fluke.  Finally, Jenny sold the copyright to “First Impressions” for what amounted to a little less than $10,000 in today’s money.  The book was an instant hit and the first printing quickly sold out.  A second edition sold out within six months.  A third edition sold out as well.   

“First Impressions” still sells well.  It has been published in numerous languages, and has been adapted for television, and films.  To date, the book has sold more than 20 million copies, and has become one of the most beloved novels in English literature.  Of course, it took time for “First Impressions” to sell that many copies.  It took more than 200 years.  This novel by Jenny was first published in 1811.  Jenny was the childhood nickname of Jane Austen.  “First Impressions” was the original title of “Pride and Prejudice.”

Hearing Loss For Real For Hunters

There is a one-word question with which I too frequently respond when my wife tells me something. That one-word question?


“Huh?” 


It all started for me several years ago when I was attending an outdoor writer’s conference in Tennessee. One of the features of each annual conference is to visit the firing range for some hands-on experience with the newest firearms on the market for that year.


I was standing at a station preparing to try out a new muzzleloading rifle. Standing next to me was a fellow writer with a high caliber rifle; I believe it was a 30.06. 


I had a pair of foam ear plugs in my hand and was preparing to insert them but just before I did, the guy next to me fired his rifle. What I experienced next was not only ringing in my ears but a roaring sensation hard to describe. From that day until now, I have limited hearing in my right ear as a result of the absence of protection from that rifle blast.

Dr. Jerrilyn Frasier Vaughan is an audiologist with office in Ruston, who recently posted a column in the Lincoln Parish Journal that addresses the vital importance of proper hearing protection for hunters.
“When you’re in the wild, you’re focusing on the thrill of the hunt, not on your ears. The truth is that noise from a single gunshot at close range can harm them, even leading to permanent hearing loss.

“Noises of 85 decibels or more are known to harm your hearing. A gunshot measures between 120 and 130 decibels, making it extremely hazardous to your ears,” she wrote.


She explained just how your ears are designed to do what they’re supposed to do and how one event, such as the one I experienced in Tennessee, can seriously damage your hearing.


“You rely on tiny hair cells in your inner ear to help you hear. A one-time exposure to an extremely loud noise or listening to loud sounds over time can damage and even destroy these cells, leaving you with hearing loss,” she continued.


One study she mentioned found that men over the age of 48 who hunt regularly are more likely to experience high-frequency hearing loss, the kind that often results from damage caused by sudden loud noises. The risk of having a marked high-frequency hearing loss increased by 7% for every five years a man had hunted.


What suggestions did the doctor offer to prevent hearing loss before it’s too late?
“Hunting ear plugs are usually made of foam and fit tightly in the ear canal, they reduce gunshot noise but not gunshot vibrations,” she said. “Hunting earmuffs minimize the majority of sounds, even at close range. They have a snug fit and enclose the entire ear, making them highly effective at blocking sound.
“Electronic hunting earplugs and earmuffs include technology that suppresses loud noises while still allowing you to hear quieter sounds, such as animal movement. The earplugs are custom molded to your ears for a precise and comfortable fit.”

Although the temperatures have been high and hunting may be the last thing you’re thinking about now, hunting seasons are right around the corner. Follow the advice of this hearing expert to be sure you won’t be having to respond to comments from your wife with that one word that makes her face turn red as she chinches her teeth. 


“Huh?”

Winn Qualifying Results Confirms Upcoming Election Ballot

Thursday, August 10th marked the end of the three-day qualifying period for both state and local positions for the upcoming October (the 14th) elections. While all of Louisiana will certainly be interested in knowing their future Governor, Secretary of State, etc—-here in Winn Parish it’s the local races like Sheriff and Police Jury that continue to find themselves the subject of discussion. 

Those local politicians who met no challenge during this year’s filing include State Representative Jack McFarland of District 13, State Senator Wendell Jay Luneau of the 29th Senatorial District, State Senator “Jay” Morris of the 35th Senatorial District, Clerk of Courts Chesney Chandler, Corner Dr. James Lee, and Alderman of Sikes, “Jeff” L Boren. Each will begin their next term with the new year. 

Others will face opposition in their bid for reelection. It’s no surprise that all three candidates for Winn Parish’s local Sheriff election, our incumbent Cranford Jordan Jr and his two challengers, Josh McAllister and Dylan Womack, have all qualified and have finalized their place on the ballot. From McAllister stepping down from his presidency on the Police Jury and several newcomers challenging their districts to our current Assessor and his new challenger, our Parish may be in for a few new faces come time the polls close this fall.

Sheriff Provides Safety Training For Teachers, Staff

Teachers, administrators, and other staff gathered at the Winnfield Senior High School auditorium on Monday, Aug. 7, to participate in training on how to respond in an “active-threat” situation. The training, provided by the LSU National Center for Biomedical Research and Training/Academy of Counter-Terrorism Education (LSU NCBRT/ACE) and Winn Parish Sheriff Cranford Jordan, presented staff with information on how to handle an active shooter on school premises. Teachers saw ways to keep a shooter out of classrooms, how to respond in an emergency situation, and the most effective ways to keep students safe while at school. “Many thanks to Sheriff Cranford Jordan and to Gregg Davies,” said Winn Parish School Superintendent Al Simmons. “…for helping secure this training opportunity for Winn Parish.” After the four-hour training was completed, Jordan provided lunch for all of the teachers, paraprofessionals, and administrators of the Winn Parish School System. 




True-Blue Confessions of a Redneck Ken Doll

(This is the second and final guest column by Kenneth Sean “Ken” Carson, better known as The Ken Doll, who co-stars in the Barbie movie along with—duh! — Barbie.)

Yes, yes, for all that’s pink and blonde, go see the movie. Everyone else has.

Everyone but me.

I’m done.

No hard feelings. I’m just tired of being arm candy. Since I was born/created in 1961, the toy makers have put me in more goofy outfits than you’d see on a runway at any New York City/Tokyo/Milan fashion show.

Sure, I’m plastic. I’m a doll. But I have feelings too.

At heart, I’m a redneck. A lunch pail guy. The common clay. I’m not Fashionista Ken or Travel Ken or Tennis Ken or any of the other silly things Mattel has made me out to be over the past 60 lonely years. And I’m definitely not Dreamcamper Ken; the most primitive I like to get is a Motel 6.

I’m been enough idiotic things for Mattel the past 60 years to last several pretend lifetimes.

I mean, it’s a job. I get it. I do. And I appreciate it. And it’s been fun hanging with Barb, an absolute peach.

And yes, the plastic money’s been good.

But I’m retiring. Tired of living a lie.

Why didn’t they create me like Oppenheimer, the star of that other movie, maybe let me split the atom instead of being created as a gigolo for capitalism? Even if Barbie, my female bestie, is quite fetching, well … there’s more to me than just molded-to-perfection plastic alloys!

Oh, the humanity!

So there you have it. I tried to be Ken. And failed. Tried to go to the galas and keep up the crunches so I wouldn’t look like a Whale Doll at pool parties. Tried the surfing and the hairdos and even got a face scrape (Mattel paid for it).

Years ago I asked to be a farmer and what’d they do? They put me in a checked shirt and an apron. An APRON! And check this sales pitch for Farmer Ken from what Mattel calls Sweet Orchard Farm: “Ken doll has an adorable piglet that kids can help him tend for role-play and storytelling fun.”

What? They gave me a piglet? I’ve been on the farm on castration day more times than I’d like to remember and that’s no fun for ANYbody, especially the pigs.

You want role play? Let me be a real farmer with a hayloft and some corn and a pony. I can be a farmer/rancher. Ditch the piglet. At least give me a tractor.

Oh, and here’s the ultimate indignity for Farmer Ken, according to the box I come in: “Doll cannot stand alone.”

You see what I put up with? What am I supposed to do, sit and milk all day? That’s gonna be a hard pass for me, dog.

And the asking price? A salty $34.95. I wouldn’t pay that for me and I AM me!

Mattel said “Fine. We’ll make you a … (get this, gang) … writer. You know, with a little snapbrim hat and a trench coat and a typewriter.”

Said they’d even “throw in a piglet, like with the Farmer Ken deal.”

What’s with these people and piglets, for heavens sake?

Good grief. Please, just … no. Writers are either rail thin and alcoholic or have a pot belly and smoke a pipe and think they invented the vowels and use big words like pubescent and eschew and ebullient. I learned to write in second grade and moved on. Please just … no.

Think I’d rather be a piglet.

It included an address by Gary Jander our 2023-24 Kiwanis International Counselor. There was a report on Mable’s Table. The awards for Lawman of the Year, Firefighter of the Year, Teacher of the Year were announced. The winners of the gift baskets were posted and $5326 was raised by the foundation through this event.

There was another breakout session after lunch. The House of Delegates and Annual meeting began at 4 PM to elect the Governor and Governor Elect for the next term. There were also amendments to be voted on. Later in the day there was the Governor’s Saturday night party. Sunday morning included a prayer breakfast and the closing session. Next year’s district convention will be held in Tupelo, Ms. 




Dog Days of Summer Can Put Pets in Harms Way

When I listened to the weatherman on the news last night, I know my brow must have furrowed a bit. No, he wasn’t talking about more thunderstorms; something else was about to take place.


Every day or two for a couple of weeks, we were blessed with a shower. Most were light, less than a tenth of an inch but getting a dab of rain has kept things in my yard looking green and nice and needing a mowing every week. What the weatherman said last night that put a knot in my stomach was a forecast that read like this; hot, humid and dry. No rain anywhere in sight for at least the next week. Even though it’s July and things are supposed to be hot and humid with little moisture, these are conditions that we never like to see.


Since I don’t have a sprinkler system installed, I have to drag out hoses and move them around the yard to keep things from drying up. As much as I dislike hot dry weather and all it involves, I got to thinking about our pets, dogs especially, that can get into trouble if they stay out too long during the hottest times of year.


What are some basic rules and suggestions that apply to how to take care of your pup when conditions are like what we are experiencing? I called an expert, Lori Seacrist, one of the owners of Petite Paws Pet Hotel whose job is to take care of the dogs in her care. She shared some important tips and suggestions that will be of value in assuring that our fur buddies stay safe and out of danger during these high heat times.


“It depends a lot on the particular breed and age of dogs. Older dogs and young puppies seem to have more trouble with heat while the ‘smush nosed’ dogs, like pugs and French bulldogs have the most trouble getting enough oxygen to combat the excessive heat. On the other hand, hunting breed of dogs like Labs and hounds can more easily adapt to these extreme conditions,” Lori said.


It is also important when planning outings with your dog during times when the temperatures are brutal. She suggested that you should plan outings early and late in the day to avoid potential problems.
“If you’re out with your dog during the hottest part of the day, not only the heat but the humidity can affect them just like it does us. Nothing is much worse for dogs and people than to be subjected to high temperatures and high humidity. Be sure your dog’s ‘potty’ breaks are short and in shaded areas,” she said.


“Another thing to consider is the concrete and asphalt like on your driveway. Reach down and touch these surfaces and if it’s hot to your hand, it’s the same on their paws. Walking them on grass or surfaces other than concrete and asphalt is the best bet,” she continued.
What should you do to help your pup should you see that heat is starting to take a toll on the dog’s wellbeing?


“Dogs can be subject to heat stroke and heat exhaustion just like humans can. If your dog seems especially lethargic after being outside awhile in hot conditions, if they seem to drool or you see foam around the mouth, these are red flags. Get the dog to a cool spot and refrain from cooling them down too quickly. Definitely don’t expose them to an ice bath. Instead, use a fan, take a cool rag and put on the paw pads and on the snout to slowly bring the body temperature down,” she added.


Remember these tips to protect your fur baby during these brutal summer days.

They are still collecting items leading up to the community packing party that will take place in November.
